Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization in the permission model via the fs.futimes() function due to failing to check for write permissions. A process restricted to "read-only" access can still modify a file's access and modification timestamps. While it doesn't allow changing the file's content, it can be used to obscure malicious activity by tampering with audit logs or metadata.

Note:

This is only exploitable if the attacker already has the ability to execute code on the system (within the restricted Node.js environment).
